Journalists, activists, and social media users marked the second anniversary of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh’s death in Jerusalem. The Center for the Protection and Freedom of Journalists denounced her assassination, highlighting the lack of justice for the perpetrators.
Abu Akleh was deliberately targeted by Israeli Occupation forces while reporting on aggression in the Jenin camp, symbolized by the image of her lying on the ground with her press gear. The ongoing targeting of journalists is evident, with 143 deaths recorded in Gaza alone since October 7.
Last year, the United Nations declared Gaza as the most hazardous place for journalists globally. The heartbreaking reality of journalists risking their lives to report the truth underscores the challenges they face in conflict zones.
